Thanks for all the birthday wishes! Gabe and I dined at hone, enjoying some of the best late-summer produce: Jersey corn on the cob and fresh swordfish kabobs with peppers and mushrooms. To toast the day we poured this lovely sparkling Cab Franc rosé from Domaine Fabrice Gasnier. La Cravantine is one of my favorites - full of red fruit and so food-friendly. It’s also Made via biodynamic methods. My official bday dinner with friends in NYC has been pushed to later this week, as I had to quarantine doe 10 days after being exposed to COVID. Feeling super-grateful for the vaccine. Cheers to a better year ahead!
Feels so good to be back in the city!
Friday the #tourdefrance2021 passes through Bordeaux - right past @paradiserescued an organic vineyard run by my friend David Stannard!
How did you celebrate America’s birthday? Gabe and I enjoyed poblano peppers stuffed with a mix of black beans, ground turkey, and cheese paired with the 2018 Reserve Plummer Vineyard Cabernet Franc from @dracaenawines in Paso Robles, CA.
Yikes!
Happy Birthday, Mom-mom! You’ve been gone for a while now, but your influence lives on. I love this photo of you, Lynne and me in the backyard of your house on W 11th Street. Surely you picked out our matching dresses, so similar to your own. Whenever I see a package of Milano cookies or a pint of rum raisin ice cream, you come to mind. So much love for all of us! Cheers to you, Evelyn Hahn Walsh. 🥂🎂
